I am very new to steam but after sifting through some articles and such and doing the research regarding the white paper I enjoy this platform and think it will be strongly utilized in the future. One of the biggest ways I think, is in the realm of decentralization in the name of free speech. Unfortunately, other platforms such as you tube have started to censor conservative and libertarian channels and I think that this is a great alternative for the spreading of all ideologies and free speech.

Very true, but keep in mind that it is still censored somewhat. The rewards and reputation are censored by the public. The content is essentially controlled by "Free Market". An author with content in which the majority public feels is distasteful will not get noticed and potentially down voted. If it is really distasteful or plagiarized, the content can be voted to the point it is hidden. The content will still however be available. A single powerful entity can still down vote content into the hidden state which is not very decentralized, but if they did that without just reason, they will fall out of favor from the public which would hurt them.
Of course, this is something I find beautiful. The fact that instead of a centralized company choosing what can go up and what can't, its the people.
